Episode 91: Técnico’s microwave educational kit

Técnico’s microwave educational kit is an example of the importance of experimentation in teaching and research. Designed in the 1960s and currently on display at the Faraday Museum, Alameda campus, it played a key role in the field of Electrical Engineering. The kit, which is impeccably preserved in a green box, was designed to disseminate microwave techniques. The kit included everything it was needed to carry out fundamental experiments such as transmission, antennas, microwave receivers, accumulator devices, resonant cavities and emitted signal frequency, among others.
